Re: [GUIDE/ROOT/CWM-TOUCH] Samsung galaxy grand Duos GT-i9082

Why will it kill grand?

It was there in the phone when it was launched wasn't it ?

You can put any firmware, provided it is meant for the specific phone.

You will lose updated performance improvements incorporated in the newer firmware.

Thank you,

Now i have installed Titanium backup and freezed unwated apps like chaton, Flipboard, Allshare Play.

Could I be suggested the applications which can be safe to be frreze.

Though i had my device rooted now (after battery removal trick, which helped me).

I was curious and when booted into recovery mode to check, now i get into andriod recovery mode but not in CWM recovery mode.

Why is this so, is CWM recovery uninstalls itself after reboot and is there any other setting from which i can get into CWM recovery mode again.

Just incase in future can if i flash again with stock rom/firmware will the root permission be uninstalled.

Thanks for clarifying my noob questions..however i'm a noob in rooting..and android stuff..just googling to make my self acquianted with new terminolgy.

Re: [GUIDE/ROOT/CWM-TOUCH] Samsung galaxy grand Duos GT-i9082

What issue exactly are you facing ?

I assume you have granted root access to the app.

In Samba settings,

Enter the password you want to use.

Enter some user name.

Enter the work group name (best to leave at default : WORKGROUP)

Enter net bios name . I have kept it same as user name for simplicity. This is the name the phone will appear as on the host pc.

In other file share settings,

I leave the check boxes at default.

In 'Other Shared Folder', select the path of your external sdcard from the list.

That's about it.

After changing the settings, disable Samba from menu. Then enable it again for the settings to take effect.

It might take few seconds to fully activate it.

From host PC, from Start -> Network you should see the phone displayed as a networked PC.

Double click on it to open to display 2 folders , one for each sdcard.

That's it do operations like normal pc... drag n drop, etc.

When you reboot your phone or end all apps, Samba will stop working. Just start the app and wait a few secs.

Conversely, you might wanna end it after you finish using it to conserve battery. There is no Exit function, you will need to force close it from task manager.

See these screenshots for my case;

I was facing a problem with rooting my Grand, every tine I was rebooting my phone it was reflashing the stock recovery and hence I could not boot into CWM and root my phone.

I found a temporary solution for this. What you can do is while flashing CWM from Odin untick the auto-reboot checkbox and once the flashing is complete you can remove your battery and then reboot into CWM using volume up+home+power button and then CWM will work.

However this works only once and the next time you try to boot into Recovery it will again flash back the Stock Recovery and boot into that.

Can anybody explain me the difference between this...

2 days back i installed latest updated firmware from sammobile and flashed it with ODIN succesfully...this was the files name

I9082XXAMB3_I9082ODDMB2_INU.zip

Just now i also saw that with it there was another similar update with the name

I9082XXAMB3_I9082ODDMB2_INS.zip

Which one is the latest one ???

The INU one which i flashed works fine but camera app shows a bit of lag or unresponsive at times which was not the case with the old firmware..as well as sometimes the screen fades out the colour automatically.. I am sure this has to do something with the zip files..

Does anybody else face the same issue ?? with the firmware OTA...or manually installed...

Do you think i should try out with the other file as well and see if it works fine...?? or both are same ??

Or should i go back to my orginal version and not the updated one...(But if i go with original then there are many issues such as game compatibilities example subway surfer..)

I have no worries with the root...root does work fine with any of them..

Exit Odin>Remove Cable>Remove Battery...(Removing battery will stop rebooting the phone)

Now put back the battery > Volume up + Power + Menu to boot in to recovery..

You will find out CWM recovery..Now click reboot...here it will ask you No & Disable...Click on disable..and reboot..
